Canson Montval Field Books is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 1.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Northwestern watercolorist from Useful, really like it!I really like this field book. The paper is good quality--I could remove a page and frame it if I wanted. The paint flows and mixed well. Both covers are very sturdy, so both sides of the paper have solid support. At 140 lb., the watercolor does not soak through. Once the watercolor is dry to the touch, I can close it, and press the paper flat. It's priced very reasonably, compared to other field books that contain good quality watercolor paper. I have other field books, but intend to get more of these for recording my travels, for painting outside and as reference with trial mixes. The spirals are large enough that more paper could be added to a book.
